There have been a couple of AI threads recently that have sparked my interest but raised some questions...

1. How neccessary are the inate programs? I only ask as eGhost seems to fit my concept well but it's only a 15BP boost for potentially loosing out some of the key AI stuff...

2. If an AI's node is a commlink can they make use of response enhancers and simsense accelerators? Simsense booster cyber is obviously out but it strikes me as odd that an AI might be slower than a meat hacker in the matrix?!?

3. Can an AI recieve SIMsense info? In this case I'm thinking about 'vehicle touch sensors' although probably without any rules bonus as they can't 'jump in'

4. With the assumption that modded vehicles don't have to look like modded motorbikes etc but can look like a 'human' walker (I know people don't all subscribe to this idea!) would this be reasonable?:

Emerging Futures (NeoNet) Avatar drone [designed for full emmersion hackers/riggers and AI's to interact with the world]

• Suzuki Mirage (rather than Contrail so that I have to overmod - not above 10 slots though - to get a cost semi comparable with a full cybernetic body) 6500¥
• Walker 3000¥ 2 slots
• Full Mechanical Arm x2 8000¥ 4 slots
• Overmod: Mimic R:3 15000 to 30000¥ 2 slots
• Overmod: Rigger Adaption 2500 to 5000¥ 1 slot
• Overmod: Touch Sensors 3000 to 6000¥ 1 slot
• Total Cost (without any cyber enhancements to arms) 58500, round to 60000¥
• Custom Agility +3 to both arms 9000¥ (I assume they start at 3 as it's not specifically mentioned)
• Right arm commlink
• Left arm sat uplink
• End Cost 70,000¥ +any sensor upgrades +commlink cost

Is there anything obvious I've missed or made a mistake on? 6 Agi and Str seems reasonable although some work might need to be done to reduce speed to something closer to the other cyborgs (?). As a GM I'd be happy with this but would anyone else?

Thanks!
